RE: The MSAS petition has been sent
I don't see why people should choose to ignore it though?
The false detection shouldn't be there in the first place really...

In a recent update of Microsoft Anti-Spyware, the threat level of Messenger Plus! was lowered from 3/5 to 2/5, which was a good thing, however, the program itself, msgplus.exe, is now detected immediately at system startup or whenever run manually by the user, and the following message is displayed in bold red: "Warning, Messenger Plus! Software Bundler is trying to install!". In addition to discouraging anybody in their right mind to click "Allow", this message is, to put it simply, a lie. Messenger Plus! is not a "threat" and it certainly is not trying to "install itself on your computer", it's already been installed at this point and the program is just trying to run and do what the user expects it to do.

tbh, the BBC in the UK would easily cover this story either on the news or on their tech shows. They like covering stuff like this at the end of the news as a less serious based story. I would post on one of their forums or send them an e-mail to see if they would like to cover it, this would put some more preasure on the MS Anti-Spyware devision to get the situation sorted.
If alot of us do that then they will cover it, post the email
yer, a show like Click Online on bbc news 24 would probably do it, you can contact them here

What kind of printer can take that much printing all in one go? Did you rent the National Newspaper's printing presses for a week?
I'm glad Microsoft got what they deserve

RE: The MSAS petition has been sent
That's what they deserve, good job Patchou!!!. My only question is "Why would Microsoft block it in the first place?". One answer I can think of is that Microsoft might eventually release an "add-on" that highly resembles "Messenger Plus", and are trying to get people to stop using Plus!.
Just a guess, I really have no sources.
